The dreaded "dry throat"

[JLeigh]

Did any of you have this, and if so, how long did it take for your body to adjust, if ever? I don't have it severely, but it's there.

I am still getting a dry mouth, although not as bad as the day I first started vaping, thats for sure. It's the nature of the beast I guess....but water is something you need anyways, so look at it as "glass half full", no pun intended.

I think for a week or so when I first started I had a bit of a dry throat, don't have it anymore. When I was feeling dry I just had a bottle of water near by to sip on. Or tea.

I dont know how long it lasts, or if it ever goes away, but having something to drink nearby makes it practically nonexistent. At least for me.

Drink plenty of liquids

Oh, I drink a ton of water anyway, and always have --close to 15 full glasses a day. If I incorporate any more water into my diet, I'm going to float away.

I just wondered if this was a permanent thing or usually a temporary thing.

It took me about a week as well. In the interim, green tea with honey and lemon was a great way around it! It also tastes great with a Pear or Pineapple cartomizer! Double bonus!

I also switched to Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste at the recommendation of another member - it made a huge difference. You can buy it at most drugstores (and perhaps the grocery) in the toothpaste aisle. It was made to combat dry mouth symptoms. Good stuff there!

There's a bit of dry throat for me, but no way near as much as with analogs.

I also had a dry throat at first, the first few days were the worst, but it gradually went away after about a week or so.

I never really got dry mouth from vapeing on batteries (I already drank alot of iced tea), but the usb passthrough killed me, and still does! I just can't use it, but maybe it's just me?

The passthru is higher voltage, which means more heat with a vaporizer.

16 cups of coffee a day fixes that problem!!!! 8-o8-o8-o8-o

I know what you mean about that dry/sore throat. When I first started vaping, it felt like shards of glass for awhile! Seriously thought I was allergic to the PG. Found a tip on the forum that saved my bacon though and got me through the transition stage. Try this - find yourself some smallish HARD candy mints (I used some certs ones). When you start vaping, pop one in your mouth and vape along with it. Had a bit of a minty taste with what I was vaping but ... it sure solved the problem! No more sore throat. I had tried the 'drinking more' as well but that didn't work but have a hard candy in my mouth really did the trick. I'm thinking because it encourages saliva production or something. Anyway, give it a try and see what happens. And good luck ... it is SO worth it and I'm sure it will pass.

Today was my 15th day vaping and I had a sore/dry throat up until Monday. I drank alot too and it didn't seem to work for me, it wasn't all that painful though just annoying. hang in there it will go away!

I usually do a dosage of dihydrogen monoxide whenever that occurs. You can purchase it over the counter in most places.

I usually get my H2O right out of the faucet.

I guess I am just lucky, I don't feel any dry mouth or thriat at all.
Oh, I had when I sucking on analogs.

That stuff is as toxic as all hell! If you immerse a mouse in it for even just a few minutes... poof! Dead.

Honest!
